This engraving from the 19th century showcases a unique piece of ephemera - instructions on how to measure oneself for a wig. The French School artist beautifully captures the essence of this fashion trend, providing us with an intriguing glimpse into the past. Intricate details and delicate lines bring to life the step-by-step process of measuring one's head for a perfect wig fit. This engraving serves as both an advertisement and instructional guide, reflecting the importance placed on wigs during that era. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in French culture and fashion history. It is fascinating to see how meticulous measurements were required to achieve an ideal wig fitting, highlighting the attention given to personal style even centuries ago. As we admire this print from a private collection, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value and historical significance. The enigmatic allure of wigs becomes apparent through this artwork, reminding us of their role not only as fashionable accessories but also as symbols of status and identity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this extraordinary engraving today.
